Metro and bus traffic in the Tunisian capital ground to a halt on Monday, after employees of the state transport company held a strike over delays in the
payment of wages and bonuses.
The strike highlights the financial problems faced by public companies on the verge of bankruptcy, while the government of President Kais Saied suffers its worst financial crisis.
The transport strike is a show of strength for the powerful UGTT union, which has pledged to hold a series of protests.
